Burn That Fat - Never Go Hungry - Here's a Surefire Plan!

Have you ever found yourself here?

You gain weight, you hate the way you look, you feel dreadful, your clothes don't fit… it's time to diet.

So you hear about the new super diet and you get all excited and try that. You feel hungry all the time on the diet so you pretty soon fall off the wagon… but then… to your dismay… you put on more than you lost.!

And the cycle repeats!

What's happening here?

Pretty simple but not so obvious. Diet's don't make you thin… they make you fat!

When you eat less to lose weight your body goes onto "famine alert". It says: "Wow, there must be a shortage of food. I'd better conserve". And your body reaches out and dials in a lower metabolic rate to make the food go further.

You don't just want to lose the weight… what you really want is to lose the fat. If you drop your weight quickly you lose water, muscle and other lean tissue that makes up 25% of what you lose.

Why is this?

Your body conserves fat in case there's a famine… it's in your genes. So if your body thinks there's a famine happening, it will actually break down muscle and lose water to protect those fat reserves.

On top of that if you get on a fast track weight loss program by eating a lot less and then go back to eating normally, a much higher percentage of the food you eat is laid down as fat.

Why?

Because your body is playing it safe… it's preparing for the next famine… just in case!

And then there's your metabolism. When you crash diet, your metabolism slows down to conserve energy and eke the most out of the meager amounts you're feeding it. When you go back to eating normally your metabolism stays at the slower rate… you store more fat!

So what are we to do?

Well the trick is to eat in such a way that you lose weight… but your body doesn't panic.

Don't crash diet! Be willing to give the process a chance. The real enemy in the equation is the typical North American fast food diet rich in highly processed carbohydrates… not to forget all those low fat, high carb snacks like low fat chips.

It's the carbs that do you in. They spike your blood sugar levels repeatedly and eventually you become insulin insensitive and can't metabolize the sugars in your bloodstream. They get converted to fat instead of energy and muscle.

The secret to success is to get off highly processed carbs completely and then over time re-introduced them in their natural complex form. (Potatoes are bad, bad, bad… they're just waiting in ambush to bring you down).

I can show you how to reverse that carbohydrate addiction and as a bonus lose up to 5 pounds or more in 5 days.

You will lose your food cravings and not go hungry. It's true! We have huge success with this program.

I have recently written a book entitled "Lose Weight - Never Go Hungry" which lays out a plan for overcoming carbohydrate addiction and losing weight.
